Ingredients

• 200 grams Swiss cheese
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 150 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the Swiss cheese into bite-sized cubes, approximately 2 cm x 2 cm.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour with the salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until fully combined.

Step 4

Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.

Step 5

Dip each cube of Swiss cheese into the seasoned flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

Next, dip the floured cheese cube into the beaten eggs, coating it completely.

Step 7

Finally, roll the cheese cube in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well. Place the coated cubes on a plate or tray.

Step 8

Repeat the process for all the cheese cubes, then refrigerate them for 10 minutes to help the coating adhere better.

Step 9

In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).

Step 10

Fry the coated Swiss cheese cubes in small batches, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan, for about 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried cheese cubes from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 12

Serve the fried Swiss cheese warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or honey mustard. Enjoy!
